Festoon curtains in The Family Parlour

These 18th-century festoon curtains are handmade and have lead 'plumbits' (as Chippendale called the weights) sewn into the bottom edges to weigh them down. The restored handmade tassels are copied from 18th-century originals, like the cloak-pins onto which the drawstrings are fastened. These were copied from the originals by Chippendale that are currently exhibited in The Blue Drawing Room.
